Kampung Buku Malaysia in Langkawi is the first and only village in South-east Asia"

Kampung Buku Malaysia (Malaysia Book Village) in Langkawi is the first and only book village in South-east Asia which is part of the International Book Villages and Book Towns Movement which, thus far, have about 12 registered booktowns, mostly in Europe. Most Book Towns have developed in villages of historic interest or of scenic beauty - traits that fit Langkawi island's Book Village location.

Situated amidst a lush green forest at the foot of Gunung Raya, the highest peak of the island, Kampung Buku Malaysia provides visitors, particularly book lovers, a tranquil setting in which to indulge in their hobby.

There are seven houses in Book Village, which are stocked with a great variety of new books covering numerous topics and languages. There is also quite a few second hand, rare and antiquarian books to be found here.

Kampung Buku Malaysia is open daily from 9am through 6pm and admission is free. For more information please contact Kampung Buku Malaysia at +604-9555568 or the Langkawi Tourist Information Centre at +604-9667789.

MPH will be having a clearance sale from the 14th to the 22nd of this month, at the old Lim Kok Wing building.

Edit: Today (Friday the 13th) I saw people already inside, so I went in as well. Managed to complete my Crichton collection by picking up Timeline for 15 bucks. Also saw Children of Hurin, Playing for Pizza and a bunch of HARDCOVERS going for 19 bucks.

Other books didn't have such huge discounts. Many were priced around 25-30 bucks, depending.

True. Those children's story books.

Had a better browse through over the weekend. Some books are cheap, but the popular ones are definitely not!

Readings from Echoes of Silence: http://www.silverfishbooks.com/2009/04/rea...of-silence.html
Date: 23rd May 2009
QUOTE
In a session called Anatomizing the colonised mind: reading and discussion of Echoes of Silence, the author, Chuah Guat Eng, will read from her novel on Saturday, 23 May at Silverfish Books, 58-1 Jalan Telawi, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur (Tel: 228 448 37) at 5.00pm.

Echoes of Silence is the first full-length novel in English by a Malaysian woman. Critically acclaimed when it first appeared in 1994, it has been enjoyed by general readers, and studied by students and scholars of postcolonial literature in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

Echoes is a multi-faceted novel, which can be enjoyed at several levels. Although it is written in the first person, the novel is not autobiographical. And although there is a murder and murder investigation, it is not simply a detective thriller. For the reading Chuah will focus on excerpts illustrating the novel's exploration of the colonised mind. "In March 1970, as a direct result of the May 1969 racial riots, I left Malaysia." -- So begins the story of Lim Ai Lian, a Chinese Malaysian.

Besides Echoes of Silence, Chuah's other published literary works are Tales from the Baram River (2001), a collection of Sarawak folktales retold for children, and The Old House and Other Stories (2008), a collection of short stories written and published in various publications and anthologies between 1992 and 2002. She works part-time as a corporate communications consultant and occasionally runs lecture courses at universities.


Admission is free but seats will be on first-come-first-served basis.
